Web App For Analyzing GPS Tracks



Peter Vojtek has a new web app online called AnalyzeMyTrack! that lets you analyze your GPS track files (in GPX format). Upload the GPX file, and get back:

- An interactive graph of speed vs. distance

8-10-2008-8.29.28 PM

- Interactive altitude profile as a function of distance

8-10-2008-8.28.59 PM

- A “Basic Analysis” of the track stats, with the option to plot the position with the highest speed in Google Maps

8-10-2008-8.33.51 PM

- A lookup of the closest geographic features to points in the track using the Geonames server

- Supposedly also the ability to add your GPX track to your Google Maps MyMaps page, but I was unable to get that to work, at least in Firefox 3

    I attempted to use this with a small trackline (500 points) uploaded from Garmin Mapsource, but it returns a page error in Firefox 3, and the following error in IE7.

    Same experience some author of this blog. Looks good, but should have filtered out error max speed (650km/h is not real), other analyze tool do this. Doesn’t say if speed is calculated included stopped time or not. But in general, great!
